THOUGHT OF THE DAY


        A popular superstition in India

Just think about 
A society filled with illiteracy and superstition may not attain economic progress.

ഒന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചു നോക്കൂ 
അജ്ഞതയും അന്ധവിശ്വാസവും നിറഞ്ഞു നിൽക്കുന്ന ഒരു സമൂഹം സാമ്പത്തിക പുരോഗതി കൈവരിക്കുക സാധ്യമായെന്നു വരികയില്ല.

CHURCH WITHOUT CHRIST

Image
What is happening in Syro Malabar Church is beyond imagination. It has become a Church without Christ. On the one side the Theological Leadership has become like army commandants and the so called believers community have become like armed revolutionists. In fact both do not know what they want to achieve. If it is aimed at any particular observation, one should very well know that Lord Jesus Christ has never taught even a prayer to the common man. The Lord said, "... when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret will repay you." (Mathew 6:6) When this is the way the Lord asked us to pray, the priesthood have got printed ship loads of prayers and circulated among the innocent faithful people. All the observances of today too have nothing to do with Jesus. The entire teaching of our Lord can be brought to a nutshell: "You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and wi...

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION

(Bethlehem, Palestine - Where the silver star is found, is the exact place Jesus Christ was born) The   records suggest that the Christmas was first celebrated on 25 December 336 CE by the Catholic Church in Rome.

Other most celebrated countries are Finland, Ireland, Norway and Japan.

Senegal being a Muslim majority country, Xmas is a public holiday and almost entire population celebrate Christmas. The Christmas tree of today was originated in Central Europe and Baltic states during the Renaissance. In Germany during the 16th century Christians brought decorated trees to their houses in memory of Christ's brig...

HOW IS THE REAL KERALA PEOPLE?

Image
This  is not being written with the help of any approved statistics but from quite extensive experience. I have widely travelled in India and mingled with people from different regions. The people of Kerala are gifted with a super status in literacy. I don't think it is a great achievement. If all the Indian states have the literacy standard of LKG, Kerala is at UKG. That much is the difference. Kerala is nowhere near the advanced countries of the world There is no society in the world who prevent their own economic development, but Keralites are the one. During the past decades hundreds of industrialists came here with many proposals to start industries here but the people turned them away. A large group of South Korean industrialists came here with large novel proposal of household industries. They made this proposal considering two things; a) educated and skilled man power, b) scarcity of land. Though there was large scope for this the state has rejected it outright....
